This is a simple Metal Slug fanfic that I can publish carefully but straightforwardly. Please enjoy this new story, by the way!

PS: Tabomba is my favorite Metal Slug character. In fact, he was the inspiration of my OC. Also take note in my other stories that Splero looked like Tabomba but not that much, though. Anyway, have fun reading!


Chapter 1 - Tabomba's Invitation

In a high-rising apartment somewhere in Hong Kong, Tabomba was busy reading with his Sino-Japanese newspaper on his hands while his partner Achilles was drinking his preserved drink that he brought from the market earlier. While the 2 soldiers were just "idle", the doorbell rang loudly. Achilles stood up.

"I'll get it." - Achilles said -

He then opened the door and he saw a postman.

"Good day to you, sir." - He greeted -

"Good day to you too." - Achilles replied -

"Your name is Glen Achilles, right?" - The postman asked -

"In the flesh. Why?" - Achilles replied with a question -

"I have a letter for man named Tabomba. It was being delivered to our very post office just a few hours ago." - He explained -

Tabomba heard this and he went to the doorway.

"Excuse me, sir. I'm the receiver of that letter." - Tabomba excused -

"Ah, yes! Gladly enough." - The postman said -

He gave the letter to Tabomba. He then gave Achilles his pen and clipboard.

"Please sign this, sir." - He requested -

Achilles signed the clipboard with his pen.

"Thank you, sir. Have a good day today." - The postman thanked him as he left the apartment -

Achilles closed the door. Tabomba opened the letter with a letter opener and he took out its contents. The printout reads...


To Mr Tabomba,

You are invited to the so-called "Obese Meeting". This is just a simple meeting that was being hosted by a recent "obese emperor" of a particular nation. In this very event, we will be discussing the importance of all the fat soldiers in all particular emergencies in all other parts of the world. The meeting will took place in the Hong Kong Convention Center at 5 PM sharp.

The IOMC will be awaiting your very arrival.

Respectfully yours,

Imperial Obese Military Commission.


Tabomba never of this before. He was curious.

"This is new to me, Achilles." - Tabomba said -

"What is it?" - Achilles asked -

"I'm being invited for a meeting of fat soldiers." - Tabomba replied -

"Really?" - Achilles pondered -

"Of course. It even says here that the meeting will be discussing the importance of fat soldiers in the world's very military system." - Tabomba answered -

"Are you going to attend that meeting?" - Achilles asked -

"Yes, Achilles. This meeting is quite important for me too." - Tabomba replied -

"What's the place and time of the said meeting?" - Achilles asked -

"The meeting will took place in the Hong Kong Convention Center at 5 PM sharp." - Tabomba replied -

Achilles took hold a notepad. He then wrote the said place and time of the meeting before he gave Tabomba a usual thumbs-up.

"Ok, Tabomba. I'll prepare the car for transport." - Achilles said -

Tabomba nodded and Achilles left the apartment. The obese Sino-Japanese soldier then looked on the wall clock. The time in the wall clock was now 3 PM. He still have 2 hours left to prepare for the said meeting.


This is the end of Chapter 1. Stay tuned for Chapter 2!
